Jon Heder has signed to star alongside Kirsten Bell in the Disney romantic comedy “When in Rome,” trade paper Variety reports.

David Diamond and David Weissman penned the script. Mark Steven Johnson will direct the feature for Disney, according to Variety.

Bell plays Beth, a successful New York curator at the Guggenehim who has no luck in love. She finds herself traveling to Rome, to attend her younger sister’s surprise wedding, and unwittingly creates the onset of adventure in her own life by picking up coins from a reputed “fountain of love.” Back home, she is confronted with an overabundance of suitors waiting for her, the trade paper reports.

Heder plays a street magician who uses his talents to try to get the girl, per Variety, while Shepard plays a self-absorbed suitor who falls under the spell and chases the girl.

Gary Foster, Andrew Panay and Rikki Bestall will produce, and shooting begins shortly in New York and Rome.

The Hollywood Reporter adds that Josh Duhamel has signed on to be the romantic lead, while Anjelica Huston will play Bell’s boss at the Guggenheim.

Heder made a name for himself with the portrayal of the geeky title character in 2004’s “Napoleon Dynamite.” The actor most recently starred in “Blades of Glory” and “Mama’s Boy.”

Shepard, of MTV show “Punk’d” fame, next stars in the Universal comedy “Baby Mama” and Disney’s “Old Dogs.”

Kristen Bell first grabbed attention as the resourceful high school detective Veronica Mars in the teen drama series of the same name, which aired on UPN and then the CW, from fall of 2004 to May 2007.

Last year, she joined the uniquely gifted champions of NBC’s drama series “Heroes,” and now she is making the leap to Hollywood movies.
